Pathfinder #176: Lost Mammoth Valley / Creating Megafauna / Method

Reskinning

Source Pathfinder #176: Lost Mammoth Valley pg. 72
Reskinning is the easiest method to create new megafauna. First, search the Bestiary, Bestiary 2, Bestiary 3, and other creature sources until you find a creature with similar abilities, attack methods, or attack forms to the creature you intend to create, in an appropriate level range for your players. Once you find a suitable creature, simply change the creature's description to one that matches your new megafauna and, if necessary, alter a few mechanical details, such as changing a jaws Strike to a tail Strike, adding a climb Speed, or adding appropriate abilities like Grab, Trample, or Swallow Whole.
